Gujarat’s forest department has begun fencing 100 hectares of Ambardi Safari Park to house Asiatic lions that have attacked people.

Seven Asiatic lions have died in Gujarat’s Gir landscape in ten days. Five tigers and their cubs died in Madhya Pradesh’s Kanha from CDV. India’s big cats are facing disease pressure on two fronts simultaneously — and in both cases, the warnings have been on record for years.
India’s environment ministry has announced five thematic conservation events — one for each wild big cat species — across the country ahead of the International Big Cat Alliance Summit in New Delhi on 1 June 2026. The countdown to the Delhi Declaration has officially begun.
